00:00:00.017 -->
00:00:03.237I would say I beat the shit out of Rihanna. That's what I would say.
00:00:04.017 -->
00:00:11.017And I'm lucky as hell that most people are dumb as shit because they'd rather
00:00:11.017 -->
00:00:15.737see some kid dance like a crackhead toddler asking for a hot Cheeto than to
00:00:15.737 -->
00:00:17.777admit that there will never be another Michael Jackson.
00:00:19.357 -->
00:00:22.697That's just my opinion, though. I was going to say, what up,
00:00:22.777 -->
00:00:27.657Troy Scott's welcome to bonding, but I just couldn't let it get out of my lips.
00:00:27.657 -->
00:00:31.237I've been doing this show for nine years.
00:00:31.497 -->
00:00:34.437Still don't have an intro, especially now that my work wife,
00:00:34.597 -->
00:00:37.577Tori, has left me to start her own podcast, Tori's Stupid Podcast.
00:00:37.797 -->
00:00:41.277Please go check it out because in many ways, it's like my podcast,
00:00:41.437 -->
00:00:43.677considering the amount of episodes that I've helped her edit.
00:00:43.857 -->
00:00:46.257But I mean, like, it's a learning curve. Everybody out there who's going through
00:00:46.257 -->
00:00:49.177a creative process knows it's a learning curve, and we love Tori.
00:00:49.297 -->
00:00:53.197I hope the same people listening to this go over and listen to Tori.

00:02:30.407 -->
00:02:33.167i guess it's because i'm a i'm a

00:02:36.647i almost said trendsetter but that's not true people have like bad bitches since

00:02:41.107the dawn of humanity i'm a goal setter always been someone who if i if i wanted
00:02:41.107 -->
00:02:44.527something i was gonna get it you know i spent three months looking for this
00:02:44.527 -->
00:02:49.747red variation that bad tour jacket i got it was it cheap no was it worth it
00:02:49.747 -->
00:02:52.467absolutely not i am sweating,
00:02:53.047 -->
00:02:58.547my left testic he off and but i mean it's tripper drone it's michael week welcome
00:02:58.547 -->
00:03:02.307to bonding today's first question was michael jackson a crip we're taking calls
00:03:02.307 -->
00:03:06.787and we have no calls beautiful okay all right moving on troy's gonna do his
00:03:06.787 -->
00:03:10.427own independent research he's gonna cut it together make it look like.
00:03:11.580 -->
00:03:14.800He had calls and people who gave a shit. We have questions later that we're
00:03:14.800 -->
00:03:16.620going to go to, too. I miss doing Bonding Man.
00:03:17.620 -->
00:03:22.660All right. So the reason there's like this, like the whole Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Lord thing.
00:03:22.820 -->
00:03:25.940There's this conspiracy theory that Michael Jackson was secretly a pimp.
00:03:26.540 -->
00:03:29.360I'm sorry. He's secretly a crip. That was a Chris Tucker bit.
00:03:30.080 -->
00:03:34.840That he was secretly a crip. Now, if you go and you look up Michael Jackson,
00:03:34.940 -->
00:03:37.860the way he make me feel, backup dancers, he's in blue.
00:03:38.660 -->
00:03:41.360It looks to be doing the i don't know what the what the
00:03:41.360 -->
00:03:44.640crypt sign is probably probably gonna
00:03:44.640 -->
00:03:47.400get myself shot just for doing that in red if i
00:03:47.400 -->
00:03:50.500come to your hometown crypts please allow me to check in and explain myself
00:03:50.500 -->
00:03:53.280i'm really sorry i didn't mean to do that it's just the way you
00:03:53.280 -->
00:03:56.000make me feel scared and i'm talking i should have just
00:03:56.000 -->
00:04:00.260shut the fuck up but anyway all right let me give you some background as to
00:04:00.260 -->
00:04:05.320why people might think that when they made beat it people forget that like and
00:04:05.320 -->
00:04:07.920the Michael trailer just dropped this week too that's why I'm decked out you
00:04:07.920 -->
00:04:13.080know every time we get into some new Michael news the CEO has to come out when
00:04:13.080 -->
00:04:14.460they made the beat it video,
00:04:14.960 -->
00:04:22.180they weren't even playing black artists on MTV and I think a lot of of the population
00:04:22.180 -->
00:04:25.480has a hard time understanding what Michael Jackson means to black people just
00:04:25.480 -->
00:04:31.300for the sake of what he pioneered for them and in the in the early 80s they
00:04:31.300 -->
00:04:34.800wouldn't play music videos and Michael would be like I don't know what they're playing.
00:04:34.960 -->
00:04:37.840Like it's a film, but like it's, it's not, it's very unusual.
00:04:37.840 -->
00:04:39.740I don't like it. I don't like it that much.
00:04:40.040 -->
00:04:42.280And so we get his first one.
00:04:43.016 -->
00:04:45.456Which like he did a bunch with the Jacksons to enjoy yourself,
00:04:45.556 -->
00:04:47.676shake your body. But those are basically just like lip sync videos.
00:04:47.796 -->
00:04:49.376We get his first like actual video.
00:04:49.836 -->
00:04:52.236Don't stop. Do you get enough? Which I'm sure the movie is going to go well
00:04:52.236 -->
00:04:55.256over. And I'm doing a series called Michael and me where I'm going over every
00:04:55.256 -->
00:04:59.256single one of his solo albums at a track by track basis. That's going to be dropping very soon.
00:04:59.556 -->
00:05:02.836We're going to go over a lot of that too. But I'm here to address the allegations
00:05:02.836 -->
00:05:07.476of my client, Mr. Michael Jackson, Joseph, whether or not he was a crip.
00:05:07.916 -->
00:05:10.776When they made the beat it video, they ran out of extras because the studio
00:05:10.776 -->
00:05:13.936didn't want to pay for it. Eddie Van Halen didn't even want to appear in the
00:05:13.936 -->
00:05:16.056video because he didn't think Beat It was going to be a hit.
00:05:16.436 -->
00:05:18.896And I think he got paid with like a can of Coca-Cola or something.
00:05:19.076 -->
00:05:22.536And when they were shooting that giant garage dance sequence,
00:05:22.816 -->
00:05:28.356they were just picking gang members off the street to come and be extras in the video.
00:05:28.496 -->
00:05:31.896If you watch the video closely, you could see the real dancers and you could see the non-dancers.
00:05:32.616 -->
00:05:36.876And when he went to Brazil to shoot the Brazilian version of the They Don't
00:05:36.876 -->
00:05:40.516Care About Us video with Spike Lee, the Brazilian government said,
00:05:40.656 -->
00:05:42.436no, we're not going to guarantee your safety.
00:05:42.616 -->
00:05:48.156And then some fucking drug lord guaranteed his safety because that's how powerful Michael was. And...
00:05:48.984 -->
00:05:52.124I saw an argument the other day that said, like, you know, stars aren't immortal.
00:05:52.124 -->
00:05:56.064You can't put them above everything else. And I am a stand and I definitely
00:05:56.064 -->
00:05:58.724have a biased argument. But, like, that was the guy.
00:05:58.924 -->
00:06:01.624That was the. Am I showing enough chest? There we go. I just want to make sure
00:06:01.624 -->
00:06:02.804I'm showing enough chest. There we go.
00:06:03.584 -->
00:06:08.444There was the Super Bowl is this Sunday, right? You know who performed the first
00:06:08.444 -->
00:06:11.304Super Bowl show? Michael Jackson. Do you know why?
00:06:11.824 -->
00:06:15.224Because I think it was CBS or Fox.
00:06:15.984 -->
00:06:18.524One of the channels that pretended to like black people for a minute.
00:06:19.764 -->
00:06:22.524Whichever one in living color was on and living color would do
00:06:22.524 -->
00:06:25.604this like spectacular halftime show up to
00:06:25.604 -->
00:06:28.36492 and it would take away viewings from the
00:06:28.364 -->
00:06:32.404bullshit that the nfl had on which would just be like flag twirlers
00:06:32.404 -->
00:06:35.664and and and girls who are in color guard because they weren't pretty enough
00:06:35.664 -->
00:06:41.204to be cheerleaders and they they they saw a decent ratings drop and so the next
00:06:41.204 -->
00:06:45.544year the nfl went sure you know bad bunny no it wasn't hold then it was i think
00:06:45.544 -->
00:06:49.304it was clive davis the nfl said well well, who's the biggest star on the planet?
00:06:49.424 -->
00:06:52.704And they said, Madonna. And they said, be so fucking for real.
00:06:53.284 -->
00:06:56.844And they said, obviously, it's Michael B. Jordan.
00:06:57.044 -->
00:07:01.424And so they got Michael to do the halftime, and he was the first halftime show.
00:07:02.497 -->
00:07:08.017And that was actually the first performance I ever did as a solo act in eighth
00:07:08.017 -->
00:07:10.237grade. And I got no bitches.
00:07:10.977 -->
00:07:13.617But it's a big Michael week. It's going to be a big Michael year,
00:07:13.897 -->
00:07:20.097which is crazy for a man who ruled the planet for 30 years, died 16 years ago,
00:07:20.297 -->
00:07:22.697had his loyal fans that never went anywhere.
00:07:22.877 -->
00:07:25.857Michael Jackson is one of those like, nobody does it. You can show a picture
00:07:25.857 -->
00:07:31.037of his face and you know, any village, any city, anywhere in the world, people know who he is.
00:07:31.317 -->
00:07:34.777But I love the man. I studied the man. I saw a lot of myself in the man.
00:07:34.917 -->
00:07:39.397You know, I had a black dad who was kind of heavy handed and he beat my ass into success.
00:07:39.957 -->
00:07:44.437And he often wants me to congratulate him for it. Like, I listen to Michael
00:07:44.437 -->
00:07:46.597music. I'm like, this motherfucker just like me.
00:07:47.077 -->
00:07:50.997Now, if you're old like I am, you remember the seven and a half hour long Jackson's
00:07:50.997 -->
00:07:54.157The American Dream movie from the 90s, which was incredible.
00:07:54.377 -->
00:07:57.817Wiley Draper played adult Michael or victory tour Michael. And he was actually
00:07:57.817 -->
00:07:58.897in the Remember the Time video.
00:07:59.557 -->
00:08:02.517And then he died but he would have had a really promising career he
00:08:02.517 -->
00:08:05.257was amazing the scene i remember most from that movie is
00:08:05.257 -->
00:08:08.477when joe sends katherine out to go get some pecan
00:08:08.477 -->
00:08:11.137ice cream and then she comes back and he's on the phone with some other bitch
00:08:11.137 -->
00:08:15.217she just beat his ass out of the house and and that michael was a mama's boy
00:08:15.217 -->
00:08:18.177more than anything else you gotta and we have other topics to discuss today
00:08:18.177 -->
00:08:22.217too but god damn it let me have this all right let me have i don't even know
00:08:22.217 -->
00:08:25.917who the fuck is playing in the super bowl this is my super bowl actually i'm
00:08:25.917 -->
00:08:27.637not that excited for this movie to tell you the truth.
00:08:27.777 -->
00:08:29.777I'll be honest with you. It sounds like I am because, you know,
00:08:29.857 -->
00:08:31.497the everything about me. I'm more excited for.
00:08:32.502 -->
00:08:35.682More Michael knowledge to be in the public eye. And I'll tell you why I'm not excited for it.
00:08:36.222 -->
00:08:41.702Because it's being produced and profited off of by the very estate that killed him.
00:08:42.362 -->
00:08:44.022I can't watch This Is It.
00:08:44.702 -->
00:08:49.082It's hard. I don't know if I talked about this on the last podcast. I can't watch it.
00:08:49.162 -->
00:08:55.382That's a man who is not even 120 pounds, signed on to do 10 shows, pay off some debts.
00:08:55.922 -->
00:08:59.142Then they go, 10 shows? Word, we got you for 50 shows, Michael.
00:08:59.682 -->
00:09:02.622And then he's like, I'm not ready to do 50 shows. i'm going
00:09:02.622 -->
00:09:05.422to die lou ferrigno had to train him to get
00:09:05.422 -->
00:09:08.822ready for those shows and then he
00:09:08.822 -->
00:09:12.742goes because they said he wasn't ready for it and then what do they do they
00:09:12.742 -->
00:09:15.622put out a concert movie with all the rehearsal footage so they could still make
00:09:15.622 -->
00:09:19.502money off of his corpse that's why i won't buy that number one's vinyl and i
00:09:19.502 -->
00:09:23.262collect all of his vinyls i won't buy that one because he's on video somewhere
00:09:23.262 -->
00:09:28.102in a conference talking about how tommy mottola is the devil.
00:09:29.063 -->
00:09:32.543I want to say something, but I don't want you to record. Okay,
00:09:32.623 -->
00:09:33.743you can record if you want to.
00:09:34.223 -->
00:09:39.023I have one more deal with Sony. It's a greatest hits deal.
00:09:39.883 -->
00:09:42.643Joe gave me some of the best of them, but I wrote the greatest hits,
00:09:42.763 -->
00:09:46.503and I got to give him one more song, which I already took care of already,
00:09:46.503 -->
00:09:48.363so I guess we don't have to worry about that.
00:09:48.623 -->
00:09:53.163And then after that album came out, the allegations the second time around hit
00:09:53.163 -->
00:09:54.903him, and there's that thing going around.
00:09:55.063 -->
00:09:58.403He died in 93. He closed his eyes in 2009.
00:09:59.203 -->
00:10:04.463He died in 2005 because he really was still trying to keep going after 93.
00:10:04.903 -->
00:10:08.963And then 2005, I think, was him realizing two things. One, wow,
00:10:09.263 -->
00:10:11.663yeah, I maybe should have listened to the people that were around me.
00:10:11.823 -->
00:10:15.503And two, I fucking hate everybody and I don't want to be anywhere near this
00:10:15.503 -->
00:10:17.943planet anymore, let alone the United States.
00:10:18.023 -->
00:10:23.363Because that prosecutor who tried to get him in 93 was the same guy who tried to get him in 2003.
00:10:23.363 -->
00:10:27.023There was a fantastic book, book of the week I'm going to recommend to everybody,
00:10:27.203 -->
00:10:30.403called the michael jackson conspiracy written by
00:10:30.403 -->
00:10:33.263a journalist named aphrodite jones who was there in
00:10:33.263 -->
00:10:37.283the courtroom in 2006 when
00:10:37.283 -->
00:10:42.043the truck 2005 2006 when the trial was going on and she sort of realized that
00:10:42.043 -->
00:10:45.923like the media wasn't picking up on who is innocent and who is guilty like they
00:10:45.923 -->
00:10:50.003were they'd already they automatically went yeah he's guilty now it's just a
00:10:50.003 -->
00:10:53.343matter how much time he's getting and she talks about sitting down with bill o'reilly.
00:10:54.404 -->
00:11:00.104The day he died, because that was all they could get in terms of Michael Jackson adjacency.
00:11:00.664 -->
00:11:04.484And she said when she was sitting there, she realized what she had done and
00:11:04.484 -->
00:11:08.324then wrote this entire beautiful book called The Michael Jackson Conspiracy about that trial.
00:11:08.504 -->
00:11:11.904And look, if you're like me and you already don't believe the allegations,
00:11:12.164 -->
00:11:14.224here's the thing that bothers me. People ask me all the time,
00:11:14.404 -->
00:11:16.424do you believe those Michael Jackson allegations?
00:11:16.984 -->
00:11:19.464Brother, if I did, do you think I would still listen to them?
00:11:19.524 -->
00:11:23.904I'm not a Drake fan. Like, I am Prince of, I don't even listen,
00:11:24.004 -->
00:11:25.584I don't even listen to Ignition.
00:11:26.424 -->
00:11:30.204Yeah. Even though he didn't pee on me, I don't listen to Ignition.
00:11:30.324 -->
00:11:33.564I don't even know what Ignition sounds like. I know Remix to Ignition.
00:11:33.744 -->
00:11:37.484I won't lie to you. I will watch every TikTok that has Trapped in the Closet
00:11:37.484 -->
00:11:40.604on it, because that was a special moment in my childhood.
00:11:40.824 -->
00:11:45.524Adrienne Lapalucci, incredible comic, has a really good bit where she's like,
00:11:45.524 -->
00:11:48.544when it comes to r kelly the old stuff
00:11:48.544 -->
00:11:51.804it's grandfathered in at this point and
00:11:51.804 -->
00:11:54.764that's why you gotta look at it for some people i
00:11:54.764 -->
00:11:58.084mean you can make the argument that if you don't listen to diddy's music his
00:11:58.084 -->
00:12:03.764victims won't get paid but like if you listen to diddy's music music that diddy
00:12:03.764 -->
00:12:07.424is solely on then there'll be more victims because they will have killed themselves
00:12:07.424 -->
00:12:12.624so like it's a lose-lose situation new new there's new unreleased michael jackson music coming out which
00:12:12.664 -->
00:12:15.784first i was very skeptical of because once this
00:12:15.784 -->
00:12:18.644ai thing took off i said they're gonna start finding
00:12:18.644 -->
00:12:21.484crates and crates and crates of just unreleased michael
00:12:21.484 -->
00:12:24.484stuff and the stuff that's out is really good
00:12:24.484 -->
00:12:27.284i'll tag some links in the youtube description below there's this
00:12:27.284 -->
00:12:30.424song changes that's incredible i want
00:12:30.424 -->
00:12:32.984that to be a theme song to something it's so good michael was one of
00:12:32.984 -->
00:12:35.864those dudes that'd be like yeah this song is fire let's never
00:12:35.864 -->
00:12:42.424release it but there was also a big controversy in 2010 when john branca the
00:12:42.424 -->
00:12:45.524guy who miles teller is playing in the movie who michael fired several times
00:12:45.524 -->
00:12:47.184but you know he gave himself a
00:12:47.184 -->
00:12:53.104part in the movie he helped michael get the beatles uh deal in 83 and and.
00:12:54.036 -->
00:12:58.076I read in a book once that Michael and John were having lunch and Randy Jackson
00:12:58.076 -->
00:13:01.176came up to John. It was right during Off the Wall.
00:13:01.956 -->
00:13:04.736Randy Jackson, Michael's brother, wanted John to represent him and John was
00:13:04.736 -->
00:13:07.456like, what do you want me to do? And he was like, you represent my brother?
00:13:07.636 -->
00:13:08.896Then you're going to fuck yourself then.
00:13:09.396 -->
00:13:12.156And then Randy Jackson got shot in the ass by Tina Turner. So,
00:13:12.256 -->
00:13:13.616like, that's a real fact. Google it.
00:13:14.396 -->
00:13:20.076The Michael Jackson estate, do I think that they are above putting out AI content?
00:13:20.376 -->
00:13:23.496Fuck no. You know, they're in bed with Marvel. like
00:13:23.496 -->
00:13:26.956they put out a posthumous album in 2010 called
00:13:26.956 -->
00:13:30.016michael i don't even think the body had been cold six months
00:13:30.016 -->
00:13:33.456yet and like four of the songs were real bunch
00:13:33.456 -->
00:13:36.636of them were produced by these backstabbing fucks
00:13:36.636 -->
00:13:40.916named the casios it's a whole family who all of a sudden realized they were
00:13:40.916 -->
00:13:45.236brainwashed after 25 years of claiming michael was their best friend and michael
00:13:45.236 -->
00:13:48.096had sought refuge in their house because he wanted to know what a normal life
00:13:48.096 -->
00:13:50.976had looked like and frank even wrote a book called My Friend Michael that I
00:13:50.976 -->
00:13:53.636read cover to cover. And I'm like, wow, that was a beautiful tale.
00:13:53.756 -->
00:13:57.056And then you're like, Wade Robson, you just wake up. Oh, yeah, I forgot I was diddled.
00:13:57.076 -->
00:14:02.556I'm not saying can't happen, but it's a little it's a little it's a little suspicious
00:14:02.556 -->
00:14:04.216when it happens when your money runs up.
00:14:04.356 -->
00:14:09.116But I sell that to say and do your own research. I have. And then you'll you'll see why I'm right.
00:14:09.416 -->
00:14:13.016I don't talk about something unless I know what I'm talking about. Not to come off as cocky.
00:14:13.116 -->
00:14:16.256I'm just read a bunch of dr doom comic books in 2010
00:14:16.256 -->
00:14:20.636on that michael album keep your head up monster breaking
00:14:20.636 -->
00:14:25.736news i feel like there's one more i'm missing they were all fake songs sung
00:14:25.736 -->
00:14:30.376by a michael jackson sound alike named jason malachi who i think is logic's
00:14:30.376 -->
00:14:35.996cousin and then they didn't put out another album until 2014 escape which was
00:14:35.996 -->
00:14:39.716actually good because they brought in la reed and timberland and they remixed all these songs that.
00:14:40.568 -->
00:14:43.688If you were a deep cut Michael collector, you knew those songs,
00:14:43.868 -->
00:14:49.228but they added the flair that you felt like Michael wanted when he was producing those tracks.
00:14:49.428 -->
00:14:51.808And I love the originals, too. I love the naked bare bones ones.
00:14:52.048 -->
00:14:55.028But I'll link them in the description below. And then, of course,
00:14:55.088 -->
00:14:58.428I have Troy's weekly playlist that we're going to get to because I haven't got
00:14:58.428 -->
00:14:59.928to show you what's been in my ears lately.
00:15:00.868 -->
00:15:04.388You know, I was going to save that for the politics segment, but.
00:15:05.328 -->
00:15:08.528Okay, I guess I'll do it now, man, because I don't really know that much about
00:15:08.528 -->
00:15:10.408her, but I never really liked her.
00:15:10.568 -->
00:15:16.948Does seem to be an epidemic of Uncle Ruckus's out there right now.
00:15:17.248 -->
00:15:20.888Myron Gaines, Nicki Minaj, Terrence K.
00:15:21.048 -->
00:15:26.968Williams, Joy Villa, just, oh, look at the white man. He can't do nothing wrong.
00:15:27.088 -->
00:15:29.908Look at President Donald Trump on Epstein's Island.
00:15:30.128 -->
00:15:33.208You know why there wasn't no niggas there? Because niggas can't swim.
00:15:34.008 -->
00:15:38.928Oh, you look at that man, Mr. Jeffrey Epstein. How you know a man to have two
00:15:38.928 -->
00:15:41.208E's and one name, when that nigga got three.
00:15:41.548 -->
00:15:44.868Oh, did Lord ever make anything more beautiful than a white man?
00:15:45.468 -->
00:15:50.668That's what Nikki sounds like when she's on stage pretending that she wasn't
00:15:50.668 -->
00:15:54.868five years ago saying that Trump wanted to kick people like her by people like
00:15:54.868 -->
00:15:57.648her, I mean from Trinidad and Tobago, out of the country.
00:15:57.888 -->
00:16:01.448But they all do it for the same reason. Same reason Wayne endorsed Trump because
00:16:01.448 -->
00:16:03.328he was facing a gun charge and he wanted a pardon.
00:16:03.548 -->
00:16:07.388They allegedly gave Nikki a gold card, which if you don't know what a gold card
00:16:07.388 -->
00:16:11.288is, you could pay $5 million to be a United States resident,
00:16:12.448 -->
00:16:16.788which, I don't know if you've been outside lately, that looked a little overrated. And...
00:16:19.872 -->
00:16:23.312When I don't think we'll ever get Nuremberg trials, like they think that's a
00:16:23.312 -->
00:16:26.392great little fodder for for Blue Sky.
00:16:26.612 -->
00:16:31.872But I'm noticing in real time we're giving the and I'm not trying to be holier than thou.
00:16:32.492 -->
00:16:36.372I am a I'll be I've never hidden from it. I'm a I'm a leftist.
00:16:36.472 -->
00:16:37.992I don't say that with a big red S on my chest.
00:16:38.132 -->
00:16:40.752That's just who I am. I realized I was a leftist when I was a Democrat.
00:16:40.752 -->
00:16:42.452And I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:16:43.132 -->
00:16:46.412People do deserve health care. What the fuck are you talking about? That's a human right.
00:16:46.412 -->
00:16:49.732Put a tampon in my bathroom right now who gives
00:16:49.732 -->
00:16:52.472a fuck who's gonna use it i'll put it up my ass what
00:16:52.472 -->
00:16:55.412are you gonna do fuck you chuck schumer call israel and
00:16:55.412 -->
00:16:58.072ask them if it's okay for me to put a tampon in my
00:16:58.072 -->
00:17:00.772ass that was a real clip that came out this week that
00:17:00.772 -->
00:17:03.332i thought was hilarious chuck schumer was like i'll do for the american people
00:17:03.332 -->
00:17:07.992what i always have stand for israel word to big bird i'm pretty sure there's
00:17:07.992 -->
00:17:11.252a dude at the deli on 7th street around the corner from you who's been pissing
00:17:11.252 -->
00:17:15.872himself for a week but let's make sure we get that aid to israel first wow i
00:17:15.872 -->
00:17:18.792went So I went four different topics. I forgot what I was even angry about.
00:17:18.952 -->
00:17:24.512I initially was angry at Nicki Minaj because the people that, you know what a token is?
00:17:24.792 -->
00:17:28.332If you don't know what a token is, I'll explain it to you. Make me sound really
00:17:28.332 -->
00:17:29.292condescending if you do.
00:17:30.012 -->
00:17:32.852But Candace Owens essentially is a token, right?
00:17:33.072 -->
00:17:37.612A token is your black friend. It's a, not even your friend. It's just a black
00:17:37.612 -->
00:17:41.032person that you know that you bring around other white people to show that you're inclusive.
00:17:41.872 -->
00:17:47.552And people like Candace, people like Nikki, Dr. Umar Johnson, to a lesser degree.
00:17:48.492 -->
00:17:52.792He's more of a raccoon, I guess. He's a comedian, so it doesn't really matter.
00:17:53.732 -->
00:17:57.192Fuck, what was I just talking about? Nobody was appointed.
00:17:59.770 -->
00:18:06.230Mm. The thing with being, if you're asking yourself what the difference is between
00:18:06.230 -->
00:18:11.730a Democrat and a leftist is Democrat doesn't necessarily give two shits about people.
00:18:11.850 -->
00:18:15.390And they're the ones that I have to keep voting for every election cycle because
00:18:15.390 -->
00:18:18.850they keep blocking the leftist from getting in. You want examples of leftist in office?
00:18:19.030 -->
00:18:22.050AOC, once upon a time, would be considered the crown leftist.
00:18:22.530 -->
00:18:28.150I listen to the majority report every day, which is a great leftist source to
00:18:28.150 -->
00:18:30.610get my news from. And they're kind of funny and they're young.
00:18:30.770 -->
00:18:33.270And because the thing is, is you watch legacy media all day.
00:18:33.350 -->
00:18:35.970Here's what happens. And this is nothing new. I feel like Jim Brewer.
00:18:36.250 -->
00:18:39.790When you watch legacy media all day long, here's what happens.
00:18:40.090 -->
00:18:43.710Breaking news. We're going to bring in five people to talk about what just happened.
00:18:44.270 -->
00:18:46.430None of them know shit, by the way. They're going to speculate.
00:18:46.610 -->
00:18:49.990And then not only are they going to speculate, they're going to spitball off of the speculations.
00:18:50.230 -->
00:18:53.110And then we sell viagra for three and a half minutes so like
00:18:53.110 -->
00:18:56.390i'm not saying every every form of entertainment needs
00:18:56.390 -->
00:18:59.130advertising not this one yet because nobody really gives
00:18:59.130 -->
00:19:04.330a shit but there is you could just see like how they weren't talking about the
00:19:04.330 -->
00:19:09.090epstein stuff and legacy media this week compared to like how all these that's
00:19:09.090 -->
00:19:12.690why i like these these these people can call themselves investigative journalists
00:19:12.690 -->
00:19:17.350when really they're just like they have a youtube channel with a couple hundred subscribers.
00:19:17.610 -->
00:19:20.470Those people cause the, there's, there's great people like that.
00:19:20.590 -->
00:19:24.070And I'm not just even talking about the ones who align with me politically, but I mean them first.
00:19:25.770 -->
00:19:30.810Big stuff starts in small rooms, but you can't just call yourself an investigative
00:19:30.810 -->
00:19:33.790journalist and walk into a daycare.
00:19:35.070 -->
00:19:39.210Bottom line, look, I, I, I don't think I made one clear, coherent point on the
00:19:39.210 -->
00:19:41.650Nicki Minaj thing, other than the fact that the reason why she had the best
00:19:41.650 -->
00:19:45.730version on verse on monsters because she surrounds herself with them and it
00:19:45.730 -->
00:19:48.930should come as no surprise that that's what these people believe in.
00:19:49.050 -->
00:19:52.250After a certain point in Hollywood, you make enough money, you become a Republican.
00:19:52.250 -->
00:19:55.650It literally happens. I can't think of one person who it hasn't happened to.
00:19:57.142 -->
00:20:01.782Bernie Sanders, you want me to bring up Hassan Piker's name on this stream?
00:20:03.482 -->
00:20:06.742Listen, there's a shot caller over there the next time you want to speak up.
00:20:07.642 -->
00:20:08.862I know some of those words.
00:20:09.802 -->
00:20:13.802Yeah, there's race traders too. People call my dad a race trader all the time.
00:20:14.782 -->
00:20:19.882Yeah, it is. Two different colors, but sometimes transactional.
00:20:20.242 -->
00:20:25.182Anyway, the point I was trying to make is, and this is, man,
00:20:25.302 -->
00:20:27.662if you're listening, I know there's about 12 of you out there who are.
00:20:28.182 -->
00:20:31.282Nicki Minaj's husband is a pedophile, right?
00:20:31.942 -->
00:20:37.402Is that? Let me just get my facts straight here. Nicki Minaj booming system.
00:20:39.804 -->
00:20:44.544Deal Hughley defends trans kids. That is not what I looked up.
00:20:46.324 -->
00:20:50.464Yes. Okay. Nicki Minaj's husband, Kenneth Perry, is a registered sex offender.
00:20:50.604 -->
00:20:57.464Those starships are meant to fly 500 feet away from a school zone.
00:20:58.124 -->
00:21:04.444Yeah. Okay. And then I think her brother is also, right? Her brother is too.
00:21:04.444 -->
00:21:05.844Her brother's a sex offender.
00:21:06.444 -->
00:21:10.304They both are, I'm pretty sure. I didn't put a space in.
00:21:11.284 -->
00:21:15.484The 13-year-old stepdaughter of Nicki Minaj's brother. Oh, Kate,
00:21:15.484 -->
00:21:17.144I'm not going to finish that sentence.
00:21:17.864 -->
00:21:23.164Yeah, so the point I was trying to make is, none of my friends are weird around women.
00:21:23.844 -->
00:21:26.744And I thought that that was an important thing to talk about this week because
00:21:26.744 -->
00:21:31.584there's this whole discourse online about why women should go for nerdy guys.
00:21:31.584 -->
00:21:35.084And I know a few women who would say that you're fantasizing something.
00:21:36.404 -->
00:21:39.504It's a lot. A lot of Boba Fett helmets after a while.
00:21:40.244 -->
00:21:46.784But like, there's nothing more heartbreaking other than the weirdo behavior toward women itself.
00:21:47.004 -->
00:21:50.244There's nothing more heartbreaking than when you got to stop talking to a friend
00:21:50.244 -->
00:21:52.624of yours because they're scaring the hoes.
00:21:52.964 -->
00:21:57.784And to quote Cat Williams, I'm only calling you hoes because I don't know your
00:21:57.784 -->
00:22:01.984names individually, bitch. but like they're,
00:22:03.246 -->
00:22:06.526You are the median of your five friends. You can look at your friends and go,
00:22:06.686 -->
00:22:08.366okay, I know where you're going to be in five years.
00:22:09.266 -->
00:22:12.546None of my friends have sex. I host a comic book podcast with one of them.
00:22:12.666 -->
00:22:14.106The other one is running for Congress.
00:22:15.266 -->
00:22:19.066And well, let's just say I've had the same bottle of Vaseline next to my toothpaste
00:22:19.066 -->
00:22:22.846since, oh, well, I have to say when John Kerry was running for president.
00:22:23.626 -->
00:22:27.186More of the story is don't be weird around women. How do you talk to women?
00:22:27.366 -->
00:22:30.306I don't know. Who's your role model in your life? It depends on what you're trying to say to him.
00:22:30.546 -->
00:22:32.966I remember when the Me Too movement happened, And some comment came up to me.
00:22:33.066 -->
00:22:36.466He was like, man, can't even talk to women no more.
00:22:36.606 -->
00:22:40.106I'm like, what were you saying to them? You try hello?
00:22:40.986 -->
00:22:44.906Not just like, hey, shut up, bitch, get in the car. Like, I don't know if you
00:22:44.906 -->
00:22:46.146guys know this. Women are people.
00:22:47.206 -->
00:22:49.646Yeah, I think I learned that when I was like 14.
00:22:51.336 -->
00:22:55.956Yeah, it's it's they have feelings. They they they don't have any record of
00:22:55.956 -->
00:22:59.836the presidency, but it's because we don't view them as people and because we
00:22:59.836 -->
00:23:01.156keep running terrible candidates.
00:23:01.576 -->
00:23:05.216And that's why I think Marjorie Taylor Greene should be the next one to run for office.
00:23:06.436 -->
00:23:10.396Sometimes I write notes of stuff I want to ramble on and I have no idea what it is that I wrote.
00:23:10.516 -->
00:23:14.836It says if you're 35 and got ops, you wear a suit to the club.
00:23:16.276 -->
00:23:19.436Clavicular. That's who that was about. he's 35.
00:23:20.896 -->
00:23:24.556Tate sisters. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was kind of my point about like,
00:23:25.156 -->
00:23:27.916I'd started secret identity in a certain point of view to try to correct.
00:23:28.016 -->
00:23:30.976Cause men don't have, if you don't have a father in your life,
00:23:31.096 -->
00:23:33.756that's a good father and you don't have a good role model.
00:23:33.996 -->
00:23:36.976You're going to gravitate toward the Tates and toward the Trumps and toward
00:23:36.976 -->
00:23:40.136the people who are telling you women are the problem and that you shouldn't shower.
00:23:40.436 -->
00:23:43.496And, and you take pussy advice from gay ass Nick Fuentes.
00:23:44.116 -->
00:23:49.156And, and I don't mean gay derogatorily. I'm only saying it that way because he's deeply closeted.
00:23:49.376 -->
00:23:55.836He wants to be a cat furry boy so badly. And those people get red when they
00:23:55.836 -->
00:24:03.076get angry because their whole identity is attached to them closeting the parts
00:24:03.076 -->
00:24:05.076of themselves that they wish they could be the most.
00:24:05.156 -->
00:24:09.416So when they see me in this fly-ass, bad-tort jacket, they're like,
00:24:09.516 -->
00:24:12.696damn, look at this guy. Somebody commented on my thing earlier today.
00:24:12.816 -->
00:24:14.956They were like, Troy Bond is kind of like the logic of comedy.
00:24:14.956 -->
00:24:18.936It's appealing at first and then it just gets kind of annoying and I was I wasn't even mad I was like.
00:24:19.927 -->
00:24:22.727That's a fair point, but you could also just not said anything.
00:24:22.967 -->
00:24:25.127But I'm glad that he said it because it's in my head.
00:24:25.247 -->
00:24:28.207And then I put on this jacket and I shot two Star Wars sketches.
00:24:28.407 -->
00:24:33.087So like not to be that you're not going to have haters, but like you got a bunch
00:24:33.087 -->
00:24:35.727of ants around here telling bees how to make honey.
00:24:36.187 -->
00:24:39.107Black man said that to me on Saturday and my life has not changed since.
00:24:39.467 -->
00:24:41.767And when we left the conversation, it was at a show. He said,
00:24:42.467 -->
00:24:48.287listen, my brother, the longer you stay on the wrong train, more expensive it's going to be to get home.
00:24:48.407 -->
00:24:52.467And then he just walked the fuck away. That was the best advice I've had in
00:24:52.467 -->
00:24:54.367my 30s, and I'm only in my first one.
00:24:54.507 -->
00:24:57.367I turned 30 a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for the birthday wishes,
00:24:57.367 -->
00:25:00.127everyone in this studio.
00:25:00.847 -->
00:25:05.027Everyone keeps leading up to 30 is bullshit. If you're born in 96 like me and
00:25:05.027 -->
00:25:09.367you're scared about it, everybody comes up to older people, usually people in their 50s.
00:25:10.007 -->
00:25:13.287My mom, Mrs. Puff, actually came through. She pissed.
00:25:13.807 -->
00:25:18.747My people in their 40s are a lot cooler about it. My mom was pretty chill about it.
00:25:19.347 -->
00:25:23.007Maybe as people are getting older they realize they're dying they're not bullying
00:25:23.007 -->
00:25:26.787people about being 30 anymore but like i feel the same as i did at 29 except
00:25:26.787 -->
00:25:30.087a year older i feel like i can't make,
00:25:30.627 -->
00:25:34.347reckless decisions that i mean i feel like uh marlon brandon godfather women
00:25:34.347 -->
00:25:39.547and children they could be careless michael you can't be careless you can't
00:25:39.547 -->
00:25:45.627spend 82 dollars in two days on food delivery michael you can't do that work
00:25:45.627 -->
00:25:48.127my whole life to try not have to pay a service charge,
00:25:48.747 -->
00:25:51.487like the whole he's just a kid excuse is gone like i
00:25:51.487 -->
00:25:55.207gotta be a man he said wearing this belt buckled up jacket i'll
00:25:55.207 -->
00:25:58.767tell you the biggest thing for me is like thinking about my parents were 25
00:25:58.767 -->
00:26:03.707when they had me and i'm 30 now so as far as i know beat their high score i
00:26:03.707 -->
00:26:08.327can't imagine raising kids right now at my age i mean i'd probably do a really
00:26:08.327 -->
00:26:12.127great job at it but like i just could not imagine doing it and.
00:26:13.536 -->
00:26:16.396That's usually when people say something like, you know what,
00:26:16.496 -->
00:26:19.016my parents tried their hardest, I'm gonna cut them some slack.
00:26:19.156 -->
00:26:20.976And often cases, that is right.
00:26:21.216 -->
00:26:28.676And it could also be, it also could be true that I was riding back from this
00:26:28.676 -->
00:26:32.816producer's house in LA one night and I told him all the stuff that I had gone
00:26:32.816 -->
00:26:34.376through. My dad wasn't a monster.
00:26:34.496 -->
00:26:37.576He was just the last of the heavy-handed generation.
00:26:38.176 -->
00:26:40.696And I got a bad, because I learned how to fuck with him at a certain age too.
00:26:40.856 -->
00:26:43.996So like a lot of it was not my fault, But I definitely was like,
00:26:44.076 -->
00:26:46.836yeah, I bet you I could crack your blood pressure because I did it one time
00:26:46.836 -->
00:26:48.696and I wanted to see if it was a superpower I had.
00:26:48.976 -->
00:26:56.016But I mean, I got cracked. I got cracked off pause. I got my shit rocked often.
00:26:56.356 -->
00:27:00.276And I said that to this producer and I was like, yeah, you know what?
00:27:00.996 -->
00:27:03.956I'm not scared of anything in this business because nothing's as scary as he
00:27:03.956 -->
00:27:05.236was to me when I was growing up.
00:27:05.636 -->
00:27:09.676And he was like, yeah, but imagine if you got hugged. And then I had shit to
00:27:09.676 -->
00:27:11.836say. I was quiet the entire time.
00:27:12.656 -->
00:27:16.896And would I have been funnier? I don't know. But that's what I had to work with.
00:27:17.076 -->
00:27:21.736And as I'm getting older, I'm noticing my parents being not my parents,
00:27:21.876 -->
00:27:25.836just people who didn't pull out and loved hanging out with each other, but didn't really.
00:27:27.116 -->
00:27:31.696They liked each other they just you know what the thing is your partner will
00:27:31.696 -->
00:27:35.896leave you months in advance and if you don't start paying attention to those
00:27:35.896 -->
00:27:39.016signs and you think you're just winning arguments and getting to play playstation
00:27:39.016 -->
00:27:43.016and don't even check her location when she goes out,
00:27:44.076 -->
00:27:47.616might as well pull up a cuck chair my brother okay what else do we have on the
00:27:47.616 -->
00:27:53.636show today 35 oh okay that's good all right see that video trump shitting himself
00:27:53.636 -->
00:27:57.436which one i know He definitely wears diapers.
00:27:58.925 -->
00:28:02.585Which as a senior citizen is his right, as any citizen in this country,
00:28:02.745 -->
00:28:04.725it's your right to wear a diaper.
00:28:05.405 -->
00:28:08.385I'm wearing a pull-up right now. Doesn't even fit.
00:28:08.685 -->
00:28:12.365Just bring my voice up an octave. I might go sing at the Philharmonic later.
00:28:12.705 -->
00:28:13.625I don't even know what they sing there.
00:28:14.085 -->
00:28:18.365That was a bad bit. It's my first week back, and Tory's not here to not add anything.
00:28:19.765 -->
00:28:23.025Yeah, I think that's the best for politics there. Trump shat himself.
00:28:23.265 -->
00:28:26.345What does that mean for the country? Okay, for me, it means three things.
00:28:26.345 -->
00:28:29.065One we all it's like the bill
00:28:29.065 -->
00:28:32.145clinton blowjob thing which ended up
00:28:32.145 -->
00:28:35.185being a euphemism allegedly that's what i would have said but
00:28:35.185 -->
00:28:38.245like we so much horrendous shit happens that
00:28:38.245 -->
00:28:42.045we just completely move on that last batch of no-no
00:28:42.045 -->
00:28:47.485files that came out should have made americans up in arms and i'm not calling
00:28:47.485 -->
00:28:50.345for violence i'm saying in other countries that's how they handle that shit
00:28:50.345 -->
00:28:55.085because you guys act like protecting kids is your number one priority when it's
00:28:55.085 -->
00:28:59.525really not it's just the most moral thing you could do.
00:28:59.845 -->
00:29:01.705So by anyone attacking you.
00:29:02.707 -->
00:29:05.427Your bullshit underlying message of protecting the
00:29:05.427 -->
00:29:08.607children once really it's to brainwash them and to ruin their
00:29:08.607 -->
00:29:11.367children and their children's children and not just the men but
00:29:11.367 -->
00:29:14.747the women and the children's children too they're they're god
00:29:14.747 -->
00:29:17.867my god sometimes i get myself so fucking ramped
00:29:17.867 -->
00:29:20.807up i i lose what i was talking about but oh
00:29:20.807 -->
00:29:23.787oh okay how that relates to him shitting himself
00:29:23.787 -->
00:29:26.467so much happens consistently and we
00:29:26.467 -->
00:29:29.207just have to take it in and even when you like try to show your friend
00:29:29.207 -->
00:29:32.087like a news story you're like hey did you see this thing where trump just straight
00:29:32.087 -->
00:29:35.707up said the n-word nah man i didn't let me watch oh that's crazy and you talk
00:29:35.707 -->
00:29:39.027about it for 20 minutes and then it's over like i'm addicted to the 24-hour
00:29:39.027 -->
00:29:42.427news cycle but that's because i'm a comedian and i be running out of material
00:29:42.427 -->
00:29:46.327a lot because i burned through a lot of shit and it's also a funny world we
00:29:46.327 -->
00:29:49.727live in you can't be one of those people that says i'm not political because
00:29:49.727 -->
00:29:51.607that tells me that i'm not,
00:29:52.107 -->
00:29:56.047i'm not even gonna insult your intelligence because you insulted your own when
00:29:56.047 -->
00:29:57.027you said I'm not political.
00:29:57.447 -->
00:30:03.727A different phrase you might want to say is I'm afraid of standing by my opinion
00:30:03.727 -->
00:30:04.627and getting the backlash.
00:30:05.067 -->
00:30:09.347So I'm just going to say I want to play both sides because Michael Jordan taught
00:30:09.347 -->
00:30:10.967me Republicans buy sneakers, too.
00:30:11.307 -->
00:30:13.407I would respect you more if you said that.
00:30:13.807 -->
00:30:16.847Right? My tricks don't work on me. I'm a comedian.
00:30:17.827 -->
00:30:21.707I'm not political. OK, Jelly Roll, you have that picture of you hugging Kristi
00:30:21.707 -->
00:30:25.847Noem probably right after she shot her dog. The alleged sober.
00:30:26.447 -->
00:30:31.787Jelly Roll, who won a country album after he did the Culture Vulture Pipeline,
00:30:32.587 -->
00:30:35.807you know, post Malone, Miley Cyrus, Dale did it. Miley went back to rock, though, so...
00:30:37.311 -->
00:30:40.191Know it's black history month so i'm going to be very protective over my black people
00:30:40.191 -->
00:30:42.991speaking of which because it's black history month i would
00:30:42.991 -->
00:30:45.611like to highlight a very important scene one of
00:30:45.611 -->
00:30:48.411the greatest black characters of all time a man
00:30:48.411 -->
00:30:51.651who goes by the name of lando calrissian now
00:30:51.651 -->
00:30:54.471if you don't know too much about lando every week on the show
00:30:54.471 -->
00:30:57.411we're going to be highlighting clip from a movie but this
00:30:57.411 -->
00:31:00.171movie is my favorite movie and let me tell you
00:31:00.171 -->
00:31:04.771chewbacca billy d is my favorite out there so let
00:31:04.771 -->
00:31:07.831me set up the clip we're gonna go through the clip actually a han
00:31:07.831 -->
00:31:11.551solo has been running from the empire because
00:31:11.551 -->
00:31:15.951they want to turn him into an icicle and he runs out of options and he goes
00:31:15.951 -->
00:31:20.931oh yeah you know i got i got a black friend yeah his name is lando cadillac
00:31:20.931 -->
00:31:26.211and leia's like you trust him and he's like no he's got no love for not stealing
00:31:26.211 -->
00:31:30.111my bike i'll tell you that So they go to Lando's Cloud City,
00:31:30.171 -->
00:31:31.451where he's the administrator.
00:31:31.811 -->
00:31:34.971And the last time Han and Lando saw each other, Han stole Lando's ship.
00:31:35.131 -->
00:31:38.291And I say steal because he cheated in a game of sabacc, which is a card game.
00:31:38.511 -->
00:31:41.791I'm already losing the women on this. Trust me, it's only going to be three more minute segment.
00:31:42.011 -->
00:31:44.511I want to go through this just scene by scene and talk about it.
00:31:44.611 -->
00:31:48.371And if you like when I talk about Star Wars, don't worry, it's completely separated
00:31:48.371 -->
00:31:50.571into a whole other project now called Certain Point of View.
00:31:50.711 -->
00:31:52.111You can check out the link in the description.
00:31:52.351 -->
00:31:55.771I'm trying to keep bonding for everybody. but this is one of the most important
00:31:55.771 -->
00:31:58.551American films and it's my favorite movie and you're just going to sit back
00:31:58.551 -->
00:32:01.411and watch me react to it. I don't really give a good goddamn what you have to say.
00:32:01.531 -->
00:32:04.791I do. Please like, comment, and share and rate the show. It helps us out so much.
00:32:05.751 -->
00:32:07.571So this minute and a half clip I'm about to play you.
00:32:08.693 -->
00:32:16.553Lando's been very hospitable to Han and Leia and Chewbacca while the Empire's been on their case.
00:32:17.053 -->
00:32:25.253And then Lando is, as my grandfather would say, the type of nigga to step over a nigga to get to a nigga.
00:32:26.753 -->
00:32:28.793And what Lando's basically doing
00:32:28.793 -->
00:32:32.773here is he cut a secret deal with the Empire to keep his people safe.
00:32:32.773 -->
00:32:35.853Because you know when you cut deals with authoritarian dictators uh
00:32:35.853 -->
00:32:38.853or whatever the fuck vaders i don't even think he classifies as a dictator
00:32:38.853 -->
00:32:41.713he like genghis khan but if genghis khan
00:32:41.713 -->
00:32:45.313was a linebacker disabled war veteran so
00:32:45.313 -->
00:32:48.053all right let's start from the beginning let's break down what's happening in the scene from the
00:32:48.053 -->
00:32:51.013beginning so right off the bat he's going since we're
00:32:51.013 -->
00:32:55.473a small operation we're not into the uh jurisdiction of
00:32:55.473 -->
00:32:58.513the empire you're part of the mining guild then right
00:32:58.513 -->
00:33:01.933there right there okay leia is a
00:33:01.933 -->
00:33:04.933rebel she's a rebel leader she's been in the imperial center
00:33:04.933 -->
00:33:07.673her whole life and she goes oh you're in the mining guild and lando goes
00:33:07.673 -->
00:33:11.273oh oh oh no not actually uh our operation
00:33:11.273 -->
00:33:14.653is small enough not to gain any attention which
00:33:14.653 -->
00:33:17.493is advantageous because we'd be selling a lot of weed out
00:33:17.493 -->
00:33:20.573of here and then han
00:33:20.573 -->
00:33:24.133being the drug trafficker humans uh human trafficker
00:33:24.133 -->
00:33:26.893smuggler he was goes aren't you afraid the empire is going to find out
00:33:26.893 -->
00:33:29.993about this operation shut you down and then
00:33:29.993 -->
00:33:34.533Chewbacca starts to smell it he goes but he doesn't say anything because Han
00:33:34.533 -->
00:33:37.993told him to stop doing that when he's around black people and then Lando goes
00:33:37.993 -->
00:33:42.193after Han says aren't you worried the empire's gonna find you he goes oh that
00:33:42.193 -->
00:33:45.293looms like a shadow over everything we built here but things have developed
00:33:45.293 -->
00:33:48.673that have ensured security now if I'm Han Solo right here at this part.
00:33:49.726 -->
00:33:55.786I'm thinking, okay, you get new cameras. Did you get armed guards? What's happening?
00:33:57.346 -->
00:34:00.546Reinforce windows. It's the Empire, you know? Like, how are you going to,
00:34:00.886 -->
00:34:03.466how have you ensured security with the Empire?
00:34:03.926 -->
00:34:07.026I've just made a deal that'll keep the Empire out of here forever.
00:34:07.226 -->
00:34:09.846You what? Hold on. Wait, hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Don't open that window yet.
00:34:09.906 -->
00:34:11.906One second. One second. One second. One second. One second. One second.
00:34:12.126 -->
00:34:15.186Yep. See, there you go. Chewie can smell it. And then door opens.
00:34:15.346 -->
00:34:18.426And then I've always wanted to know how long Darth Vader was sitting there.
00:34:19.106 -->
00:34:22.046As the door opens not only is he sitting there boba fett's
00:34:22.046 -->
00:34:24.746behind the corner and vader the entire time she's like
00:34:24.746 -->
00:34:28.126not yet fit because anakin's dramatic no this
00:34:28.126 -->
00:34:33.506is not just a dinner it is a performance and then han sees him doesn't wait
00:34:33.506 -->
00:34:38.086because han with his lady when you're with your lady you can't be no bitch you
00:34:38.086 -->
00:34:41.266could pull out your firearm and just start shooting at the ops it doesn't matter
00:34:41.266 -->
00:34:44.846if you're at the airport or not maybe it does i don't know the law but he just immediately,
00:34:45.046 -->
00:34:48.106Han, blickety black, black, black, black, fucking up Vader's gloves,
00:34:48.306 -->
00:34:51.126and then he takes that shit from him, and he hits him with the coolest line
00:34:51.126 -->
00:34:54.626ever, oh my god, I love, this is probably my favorite Darth Vader line,
00:34:55.206 -->
00:34:58.126we would be honored if you would sit in the cock chair,
00:34:58.726 -->
00:35:02.506and he's, there's food on the table, someone made this, Boba Fett comes out
00:35:02.506 -->
00:35:03.846with his little spats on,
00:35:04.306 -->
00:35:08.526and then he's got the masked federal agents behind him,
00:35:08.606 -->
00:35:12.206who don't have to show any accountability, and then right there you got Reverend
00:35:12.206 -->
00:35:15.826Al Sharpton and Calrissian who sold out his own people saying they arrived right
00:35:15.826 -->
00:35:21.146before you did I had no choice I'm sorry Han goes I'm sorry too,
00:35:21.826 -->
00:35:25.766we're trusting a darky they cut that part out but it's in the special edition
00:35:25.766 -->
00:35:29.166you just got to watch it and then Chewy's looking around being like did we just

00:36:41.501The people are so friendly down there that when they come up to you and they
00:36:41.501 -->
00:36:43.721try to start a conversation, you think you're about to get robbed.
00:36:44.301 -->
00:36:47.621But it was just nice to be down there and not see Cary Lake. And Atlanta was...
00:36:49.141 -->
00:36:51.941Interesting. I love the people in Atlanta. I got a lot of friends down there.

00:37:00.921The hustle down in Atlanta is so, so enamored with it.
00:37:01.001 -->
00:37:06.601I think about the, I sound like a white African studies professor or Patrick Bateman.
00:37:06.801 -->
00:37:09.701I go back to the 1993 Source Awards where,
00:37:10.741 -->
00:37:13.541Biggie Smalls and Tupac were having an East Coast,
00:37:13.681 -->
00:37:17.441West Coast beef and Shook Knight gets on stage and goes are you tired of having
00:37:17.441 -->
00:37:21.401your dancer all around in the video well then come on over to death row records
00:37:21.401 -->

00:37:25.841 -->
00:37:31.381got on stage and said the south got something to say too and that thing was hey.
00:37:32.821 -->
00:37:36.801And the south like still and the way i look at it they're still trying to get there,
00:37:37.441 -->

00:37:48.841 -->
00:37:51.741black man needs to love christmas to wear a

00:37:54.381 -->
00:37:57.221the holiday spirit i don't know if it's because my black dad has
00:37:57.221 -->
00:38:00.501hated christmas the entire time i've been alive but
00:38:00.501 -->
00:38:04.041it generally doesn't seem like something black people celebrate
00:38:04.041 -->
00:38:08.561i don't know i was only they celebrate it they're not putting antlers on the
00:38:08.561 -->
00:38:13.301front of their saturn to do it but i mean that guy gave me my phone back when
00:38:13.301 -->
00:38:18.781i lost it in his car a year ago which never happens in an uber and it was really
00:38:18.781 -->
00:38:21.741big help to me but i guess not big enough for me to remember his name i'm such
00:38:21.741 -->
00:38:23.341a fucking dick jesus christ,
00:38:24.461 -->
00:38:28.321but for a while there's not gonna you know road stuff i'm sure will pop up like
00:38:28.321 -->
00:38:34.201pregnancy scare or zit i got written such beautiful cards they made me cry and
00:38:34.201 -->
00:38:37.541i needed to read them before i get into questions and everything i'll let you
00:38:37.541 -->
00:38:40.141i mean i wasn't going to talk about this but okay i'm going to talk about it
00:38:40.141 -->
00:38:43.961anyway i've been trying to bring bonding back for a couple of weeks.
00:38:45.099 -->
00:38:52.619A month actually but a month ago a friend of mine who i loved very deeply took her own life,
00:38:53.319 -->
00:38:58.659she was young 30 years old had the whole rest of her life ahead of her and she
00:38:58.659 -->
00:39:03.319was one of those people that i would call when i was feeling like that and you
00:39:03.319 -->
00:39:08.079know it was it's at first the difficult part of the transition the transition
00:39:08.079 -->
00:39:11.839was to not be able to do that and i did the voicemail thing.
00:39:12.019 -->
00:39:14.859We call the voicemail and you hear it. And it's not even her voice.
00:39:15.399 -->
00:39:20.699And yeah, I don't know what part of the grieving process I'm in.
00:39:21.099 -->
00:39:25.659I'm not in denial. I've accepted it. It's just been a pain never goes away.
00:39:25.759 -->
00:39:28.079You just make room for it. And suffering is a choice.
00:39:28.199 -->
00:39:32.079And I'm choosing not to suffer. And I want to honor my friend's life.
00:39:32.199 -->
00:39:39.319But it's been very, very difficult for me to want to touch anyone else's life
00:39:39.319 -->
00:39:44.499because I have this weird thing in my brain that tells me that everything is my fault.
00:39:44.559 -->
00:39:47.419So I just assume I'm a black hole and then I don't want to be around anyone.
00:39:47.599 -->
00:39:50.759It's like Luke and Last Jedi. I'm drinking green titty milk because I don't want to hurt anybody.
00:39:51.659 -->
00:39:58.579And the road shows that I did in January in Tempe and in Atlanta,
00:39:58.859 -->
00:40:02.379I didn't anything anybody cared about me anymore to be honest with you those shows
00:40:02.379 -->
00:40:05.279made me go okay i'm kicking all three podcasts back into gear
00:40:05.279 -->
00:40:08.139and you're getting stand-up clips from me all year around because that's my
00:40:08.139 -->
00:40:12.419purpose and i'm living in total clarity of it my purpose is to entertain and
00:40:12.419 -->
00:40:14.959i'm going to entertain you motherfuckers or i'm going to make you leave hate
00:40:14.959 -->
00:40:18.999comics apple watch is telling me to stand up it's probably right so i just i
00:40:18.999 -->
00:40:24.679do want to say rest in peace to my my my god to my rest in peace to tara o'connor
00:40:24.679 -->
00:40:27.879we're gone way too soon and i should be here talking shit with you about.
00:40:29.139 -->
00:40:32.199Worst thing you ever did to me was make me live the rest of my life without you here.
00:40:32.659 -->
00:40:37.459But I promise to, what do people say? I promise to always remember you.
00:40:37.639 -->
00:40:39.619It's not an option. You're with me all the time.
00:40:40.859 -->
00:40:43.199We're doing this thing on the podcast. We'll get to it at the end.
00:40:43.439 -->
00:40:45.959There's a Denzel Washington movie called The Preacher's Wife,
00:40:45.959 -->
00:40:48.499and he says, and I don't believe in God.
00:40:48.939 -->
00:40:52.279Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.
00:40:53.079 -->
00:40:56.379And you, that's going to distract me. Don't write that shit.
00:40:56.999 -->
00:41:01.099There was a line in the preacher's wife where denzel he plays a angel who comes
00:41:01.099 -->
00:41:05.699down and he's talking to some woman who just lost somebody and he said when
00:41:05.699 -->
00:41:07.979god and whatever you want god to mean,
00:41:08.679 -->
00:41:12.079believe that shit i'm an atheist but i'm not a rub
00:41:12.079 -->
00:41:15.179it in your face atheist i they do that enough
00:41:15.179 -->
00:41:19.179they just sit around and listen to atheist talk shows being like nope but
00:41:19.179 -->
00:41:22.139denzel said something that always resonated with me in that movie
00:41:22.139 -->
00:41:24.919where he said when god takes someone away from you they leave you
00:41:24.919 -->
00:41:27.579with the strongest memories of that person as long as you can
00:41:27.579 -->
00:41:31.079remember them that person never goes away and you
00:41:31.079 -->
00:41:34.079know the last time i saw tara was at a comedy
00:41:34.079 -->
00:41:37.439club that i work at pretty frequently and every time i look at that chair i
00:41:37.439 -->
00:41:41.899think about her and she was the first friend i made when i moved to the city
00:41:41.899 -->
00:41:46.339and was one of those friends that saw through you and saw you and over who you
00:41:46.339 -->
00:41:52.599really are and and showed you genuine love and the fact that i wasn't able to,
00:41:53.219 -->
00:41:56.779and it's not something I would have been able to but the fact that.
00:41:57.819 -->
00:42:02.479Nobody could take her hurt away is what lives with me all the time but I also
00:42:02.479 -->
00:42:06.619hope wherever she is she's not in the pain that she was anymore,
00:42:07.639 -->
00:42:11.359and I hate doing this on podcasts because it brings the mood down I hope you're
00:42:11.359 -->
00:42:14.979not driving into work at the mortuary when you're hearing this but check on
00:42:14.979 -->
00:42:20.199your friends check on your family not even if they're acting crazy not even
00:42:20.199 -->

00:42:41.382 -->
00:42:44.542is 21 songs that i have had back and just stuck
00:42:44.542 -->
00:42:47.422either stuck in my head or i've been completely obsessed with some of them are repeats
00:42:47.422 -->
00:42:50.782i try not to put repeats on these episodes but it's
00:42:50.782 -->

00:43:03.982 -->
00:43:08.542of the best singers on the planet girl could not dance to save her life which
00:43:08.542 -->
00:43:11.982is ironic because she wrote one of the best dance songs of all time but it's
00:43:11.982 -->
00:43:16.442just so percussive and then there's a harmony in the middle It was just like,
00:43:16.722 -->
00:43:18.822maybe you're not intoxicated,
00:43:19.222 -->
00:43:20.842mama, I don't think I want you.
00:43:21.542 -->
00:43:24.342All these songs are always about when they're laying in bed with the one who
00:43:24.342 -->
00:43:28.122just spent their last $7 on them, but they're thinking about some corny dude.
00:43:28.542 -->
00:43:33.222Word Up by Cameo. You can't miss it. I was listening to the Korn version all
00:43:33.222 -->
00:43:34.802week, so I had to throw in this one.
00:43:35.462 -->
00:43:39.302Say, Say, Say by Paul McCarty and Michael Jackson. I was hanging out with my brother Logan.
00:43:39.942 -->
00:43:45.302He loves the Beatles. I love Prince. So, I mean, Michael. So obviously,
00:43:45.662 -->
00:43:47.142that's a perfect mix for us.
00:43:47.482 -->
00:43:50.422Latoya Jackson's in that video, and so is Paul McCartney's wife.
00:43:50.542 -->
00:43:52.342I think the one with the one leg. I forget.
00:43:53.922 -->
00:43:57.942If there's anything wrong with that then this one is a little tricky one it's
00:43:57.942 -->
00:44:03.682the glamorous life and if anyone here over 40 is going by sheila e no but you
00:44:03.682 -->
00:44:07.622knew that already prince wrote that shit you see what prince was brilliant at
00:44:07.622 -->
00:44:11.022is he created his own ops right like yeah.
00:44:12.822 -->
00:44:17.162More's day and who they did jungle love i forget what the name of their group
00:44:17.162 -->
00:44:21.142was but prince created them he was he was a master and prince would write music
00:44:21.142 -->
00:44:25.442for people and then just hand it over to him and then you'd hear Prince do his
00:44:25.442 -->
00:44:26.682version of it and you're like, damn,
00:44:26.782 -->
00:44:29.862why did you ever get that away? There's another great Prince song called I Need a Man.
00:44:30.422 -->
00:44:32.962If you get a chance to listen, I think it was written for Whitney and then he
00:44:32.962 -->
00:44:36.042was like, nah, I'm just going to hold on to this myself. Thank you very much.
00:44:36.962 -->
00:44:41.222Also, I saw you played my song in Stranger Things. I would have never approved
00:44:41.222 -->
00:44:44.042that. Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain Prince speaking.
00:44:44.682 -->
00:44:47.482I want you to kick that Will Byers off the plane. That's right,
00:44:47.562 -->
00:44:51.362I was self-hating as well. But I love Prince. That's my probably number three.
00:44:52.462 -->
00:44:56.042Okay this is the very millennial of me but this was the biggest most technological
00:44:56.042 -->
00:44:59.502video when i was a kid and we couldn't figure out how it was done but uh it's
00:44:59.502 -->

00:45:17.582 -->
00:45:23.622that ain't the way today well that's what makes it yesterday i think we need a new religion,
00:45:24.282 -->

00:46:04.587Goddamn. I'm probably going to get a strike for that one, but I don't care.
00:46:04.967 -->
00:46:08.647Speaking of black people music, I know you watched the Grammys.
00:46:09.327 -->
00:46:12.607Luther Vandross was one I grew up on because my uncle is bisexual and he smoked crack.
00:46:13.027 -->
00:46:15.387One don't really have to do a lot with the other, but, you know,
00:46:15.427 -->
00:46:17.247I smoked crack with him and I listened to music with him.
00:46:17.607 -->
00:46:20.607And we would listen to Luther. And he would always, he had this thing where
00:46:20.607 -->
00:46:23.147he'd tell me every celebrity was gay. He told me Luther was gay.
00:46:23.307 -->
00:46:26.587He told me Magic Johnson was gay. He told me Dwayne from What's Happening is gay.
00:46:26.787 -->
00:46:29.547Everybody was gay. Everybody's gay with you, Tony.
00:46:30.607 -->
00:46:35.047But it turned out, I mean, black folks knew Luther was gay. They just didn't
00:46:35.047 -->
00:46:38.447give a shit for one of the very rare times in history.
00:46:39.187 -->
00:46:44.767And next time you are listening, just let me. I'm going to keep it 100% funky with you. Ready?

00:47:11.106 -->
00:47:16.026A critique about the future driven by technology? We don't have to worry about

00:47:30.226That chicken bake had it coming.
00:47:31.106 -->
00:47:34.206Where human reaction is replaced by digital artificial realities leading
00:47:34.206 -->
00:47:37.166to a profound disconnection from the natural world can a robot

00:48:37.935 -->
00:48:42.515Lifelong substance issues. Whitney finally kicks him out. There's a great reality
00:48:42.515 -->

00:49:00.855 -->
00:49:02.035New Edition on stage together.
00:49:02.235 -->

00:49:26.595 -->
00:49:31.495in sync featuring nelly and the neptunes one of the greatest in sync songs i
00:49:31.495 -->
00:49:36.775think the greatest in sync song yeah i can't put one above it They did one with Black.
00:49:37.055 -->
00:49:41.915Oh, baby, give it all to me. But Timberlake wasn't in it, but I think Fatone
00:49:41.915 -->
00:49:44.135had that line. Baby, what's the deal?
00:49:44.675 -->
00:49:48.595Is it my Tim's, my jeans, my thug appeal?
00:49:49.315 -->
00:49:53.395Yeah, Joey, you are thugging as a motherfucker. Anyway, the rest of these songs,
00:49:53.535 -->
00:49:56.055we got about 21 of them. They could be found on Troy's weekly playlist.
00:49:56.235 -->
00:49:58.355Let's get into questions from the Troy Scouts.
00:49:59.295 -->
00:50:00.995Did you have... You're going to say something?
00:50:04.818 -->
00:50:08.238Okay have you heard the mj leaks thoughts yes
00:50:08.238 -->
00:50:13.338i have i think they're real and what
00:50:13.338 -->
00:50:16.378i think is going to happen is the estate is going to start releasing a
00:50:16.378 -->
00:50:19.498whole bunch of shit after the movie comes out because the movie is going to be separated into
00:50:19.498 -->
00:50:22.438two parts because they were it was going to be one big movie
00:50:22.438 -->
00:50:25.598and then they were shooting the stuff that happened with jordan
00:50:25.598 -->
00:50:28.818chandler in 93 with the first set of allegations and then they didn't
00:50:28.818 -->
00:50:31.678realize that there was a clause in the lawsuit at the time
00:50:31.678 -->
00:50:34.498that said that if any dramatization of a
00:50:34.498 -->
00:50:37.238michael jackson movie was to ever be made they could not
00:50:37.238 -->
00:50:40.238include this part the geordie chandler part which
00:50:40.238 -->
00:50:42.978to quote alfred pennyworth eventually of course they
00:50:42.978 -->
00:50:45.998did so they had to scrap that
00:50:45.998 -->
00:50:48.778part and i think they're going to end
00:50:48.778 -->
00:50:51.678the movie with man in the mirror at the bad tour and open
00:50:51.678 -->
00:50:54.838it with him performing jam at the dangerous tour then
00:50:54.838 -->
00:50:57.878maybe we'll see him in a rehearsal then it'll cut to uh
00:50:57.878 -->
00:51:00.678the allegations but my thoughts about the leaked
00:51:00.678 -->
00:51:03.538songs is they all should be out there
00:51:03.538 -->
00:51:06.278i don't well i know why the estate is sitting on them because they
00:51:06.278 -->
00:51:09.098want their money but like prince has enough music in his vault
00:51:09.098 -->
00:51:14.318that he is we're never we're never going to hear all of prince's music michael
00:51:14.318 -->
00:51:19.758was not the same music maker as prince and there is no reason why they shouldn't
00:51:19.758 -->
00:51:25.378do what they did in 2014 with the escape album and repurpose all of these songs
00:51:25.378 -->
00:51:28.138and put them out as, because that album fucking slapped.
00:51:29.437 -->
00:51:33.017I get it. You know, like I'm a big Star Wars fan and I've come to learn that Disney hates money.
00:51:33.997 -->
00:51:38.577When will you come to Diva? When will you come to Scotland? Whenever they invite
00:51:38.577 -->
00:51:40.877me. I can't even get to Scarsdale right now, baby.
00:51:41.457 -->
00:51:46.097I recently discovered Marilyn Moonlight. Moonlight. Are you familiar with her?
00:51:46.217 -->
00:51:47.857I'm not. She sounds like a porn star.
00:51:48.137 -->
00:51:51.537When am I coming to Boston? I was just there last year. I love Boston.
00:51:52.137 -->
00:51:55.037Ask not what your Boston can do for you, but what you could do for your boston
00:51:55.037 -->
00:51:57.937i love boston i think next comedy shop is one

00:52:15.497 -->

00:52:24.257put together what erica bob doing her tall head Yeah, this is what happens if
00:52:24.257 -->
00:52:25.577you want to be part of her apple tree.
00:52:26.037 -->
00:52:30.097So she's DC, I'm assuming. That makes sense. She's probably going to do some
00:52:30.097 -->
00:52:31.277dumbass shit with Zatanna.
00:52:32.217 -->
00:52:35.037Ricky asks, how do you feel being back on that stage in Tempe?
00:52:35.137 -->
00:52:38.877It's amazing because I didn't think anyone was going to be there.
00:52:39.017 -->
00:52:42.197And my favorite place to be on the planet is on stage.
00:52:42.517 -->
00:52:46.637It's terrifying, that moment when your foot goes from the ground to the stage.
00:52:46.837 -->
00:52:48.477I liken it to free-falling.
00:52:49.917 -->
00:52:52.797Probably the most terrifying moment of my life every single time it happens
00:52:52.797 -->
00:52:55.477and i'll never i was gonna say i'll
00:52:55.477 -->
00:52:58.857never share that with anybody but i guess i just did i love
00:52:58.857 -->
00:53:02.137when you see me on stage you're not seeing a character
00:53:02.137 -->
00:53:05.217you're seeing me get to be me

00:53:27.137 -->
00:53:30.297ambition because i ain't going a goddamn nowhere and
00:53:30.297 -->
00:53:33.117as long as you let me keep getting on stage i will keep getting on
00:53:33.117 -->
00:53:36.157stage and i will not make any comments about any high profile
00:53:36.157 -->
00:53:39.637podcaster deaths in the near future if you
00:53:39.637 -->
00:53:43.317could live in any country not named usa or
00:53:43.317 -->
00:53:45.997canada what would it be i have to pick one of
00:53:45.997 -->
00:53:50.297the ones i went to i've been to london amsterdam
00:53:50.297 -->
00:53:57.197belfast and ireland and the food sucked everywhere except belfast but they'd
00:53:57.197 -->
00:54:01.637be fighting and they fight rough but they're very friendly i did a bb so you
00:54:01.637 -->
00:54:06.137see bbc show out there you see even my gay ass mouth couldn't get that out i did a bbc out.
00:54:07.657 -->
00:54:10.837Japan looks cool, but kind of racist.
00:54:12.567 -->
00:54:16.747Hmm. I guess I'd have to be English speaking because I'm way too old for that shit now.
00:54:17.947 -->
00:54:21.967You know, probably go to Greenland just to be like, see, it's not that hard, Trump.
00:54:22.907 -->
00:54:28.227Oh, damn, brother, you asked a lot of questions. OK, how could we rewrite Superman with no son?
00:54:29.307 -->
00:54:33.267So it's even more capitalist. What was it that you said? Change the ending.
00:54:33.707 -->
00:54:36.547And I'm not going to spoil it because we're going on Secret Identity in two
00:54:36.547 -->
00:54:37.267weeks. We're reading that.
00:54:37.427 -->
00:54:40.987So if you watch Secret Identity, get into start reading Superman,
00:54:41.127 -->
00:54:42.487the Red Sons, one of the best books that they read.
00:54:42.567 -->
00:54:46.287There or i think there's a movie on hbo too it's really good this person

00:56:16.668Okay. And it's only circumstantial because it was the first time I'd ever seen
00:56:16.668 -->
00:56:21.608them, I think, but it was the first time I masturbated when I watched Mary Carey
00:56:21.608 -->
00:56:24.188and Stormy Daniels on Ditsy Dykes volume six.
00:56:24.668 -->
00:56:27.728I just couldn't believe that you could do all that with those. And
00:56:27.728 -->
00:56:32.308I masturbated and I told myself I was never going to do it again and then 10
00:56:32.308 -->
00:56:38.048minutes later the nudist episode of family guy came on and they were i i immediately

00:56:47.488i got a whole great bit about that,
00:56:48.208 -->
00:56:53.608suffering from imposter syndrome might succumb to the dark side i fear i've lost myself oh my boy,

00:57:09.868dark side and i care a lot about this guy it should be right on that drawer.

00:57:30.023 -->
00:57:38.283you are but lost you are not hmm imposter syndrome a clever trick from the dark
00:57:38.283 -->
00:57:40.043side whisper to you it does,
00:57:40.963 -->
00:57:42.903Belong you do not, hmm?
00:57:43.503 -->
00:57:46.663But ask yourself, you must. If
00:57:46.663 -->
00:57:51.003truly did not belong, why would the force travel itself to test you, hmm?
00:57:51.863 -->
00:57:55.423Up here, doubt does, only when growth is nearby.
00:57:56.083 -->
00:58:02.263Before this, certain you were, certain, because smaller you were, hmm?
00:58:03.063 -->
00:58:05.183Ambition growing it is, hmm?
00:58:07.040 -->
00:58:14.960Judge me by my size, do you? A peer doubt does, but only when growth nearby is.
00:58:15.260 -->
00:58:19.600A peer doubt does, but only when nearby growth is.
00:58:21.400 -->
00:58:23.220Now, I'm losing it.
00:58:26.260 -->
00:58:34.500Now, expanded you have become, and the mind tries to run you to a shape you
00:58:34.500 -->
00:58:37.540have outgrown. Fear the dark side you have.
00:58:37.800 -->
00:58:40.180Good. Is fear.
00:58:42.300 -->
00:58:48.080Light side. Fear it is. Fall to darkness one does not by feeling lost.
00:58:48.660 -->
00:58:52.260Fall one does by pretending one is not afraid.
00:58:53.220 -->
00:58:54.840Lost yourself you think you have.
00:58:57.160 -->
00:59:04.780No, master bad boy. Lost yourself you have not. The self you miss cannot walk where you now stand.
00:59:05.740 -->
00:59:13.820Grieve it you may but return to it you must not with much pain much clinging
00:59:13.820 -->
00:59:16.440comes did any of that make sense.
00:59:18.257 -->
00:59:21.957I'm using a Buddhist doctrine thing. Okay, all right. Yeah, yeah,
00:59:21.957 -->
00:59:23.437yeah. I know I'm going to close this. You're right. You're right.
00:59:24.217 -->
00:59:28.637The self you miss cannot walk where you now stand.
00:59:29.037 -->
00:59:32.997Grieve it, you may, but return to it you must not.
00:59:33.737 -->
00:59:39.537Much pain comes from clinging. Clinging to certainty, to identity.
00:59:40.197 -->
00:59:43.197Clinging to the idea that you were ever finished becoming.
00:59:43.977 -->
00:59:50.197A dark side promises. No confusion. No doubt. Only control.
00:59:50.897 -->
00:59:56.957Control? Real peace is that? Control? Fear wearing an armor, that is.
00:59:57.757 -->
01:00:03.097A light side. Harder things to sit with not knowing. Move forward without proof.
01:00:03.377 -->
01:00:05.697Trust the force. Even quiet it is.
01:00:06.237 -->
01:00:09.737If lost, practice this I give you.
01:00:10.417 -->
01:00:17.817Instead of asking, who was I? Ask instead, what feels honest now?
01:00:18.257 -->
01:00:21.737Oh small acts
01:00:21.737 -->
01:00:29.117choose not destiny not legacy one honest step and remember important this is
01:00:29.117 -->
01:00:37.777you are not failing the path the path is reshaping you good advice yoda oh consent

01:01:11.406 -->
01:01:14.046That question gave it to me and she doesn't like her spot being blown up and
01:01:14.046 -->
01:01:16.806she wrote me a beautiful letter about it and i just want to say i'm not
01:01:16.806 -->
01:01:19.586going to say your name but thank you very much to the person who sent me this
01:01:19.586 -->
01:01:22.706beautiful bat girl and one more in the back i love
01:01:22.706 -->
01:01:25.586that it says spectrum of the bat that's a batman who
01:01:25.586 -->
01:01:28.646shows up to punch the riddler exactly 17 times every
01:01:28.646 -->
01:01:35.906time he has to get a trophy yoda or grogu man fuck grogu if grogu was in my
01:01:35.906 -->
01:01:40.466house i would put his ass in a blender blend that shit up real the only redeeming
01:01:40.466 -->
01:01:45.146quality of grogu is besides the plot to sell disney learned a long time ago
01:01:45.146 -->
01:01:47.706if they make a baby version of an animal people are gonna buy toys of it.
01:01:49.027 -->
01:01:51.887Cool thing about Grogu was that Kellen Beck was the one who saved him,
01:01:52.047 -->
01:01:54.907who was the guy who was in the motion capture suit for Jar Jar.
01:01:55.087 -->
01:01:57.807And that was a really cool moment in Mandalorian season three when he came in
01:01:57.807 -->
01:01:59.067to save him with the duels and everything.
01:01:59.267 -->
01:02:03.847I just don't care because we have 30 years between Return of the Jedi and Force
01:02:03.847 -->
01:02:08.567Awakens and they seem to be doing this Mandalorian and Grogu and Spike TV movie
01:02:08.567 -->
01:02:12.727that nobody really asked for with Jeremy Allen White as Rod of the Hut and Mebo
01:02:12.727 -->
01:02:14.107from the Clone Wars as the villain.
01:02:14.667 -->
01:02:17.847I had to look at what your question was because as I was going on one of my
01:02:17.847 -->
01:02:22.187Star Wars runs. Yoda or Grogu? Yaddle. How about that? Please stick to...
01:02:22.727 -->
01:02:26.387Pick to have only one stay. DC Comics, Marvel, or Michael Jackson?
01:02:26.527 -->
01:02:29.347Michael Jackson. I almost bought both of those conglomerates.
01:02:29.787 -->
01:02:33.047Not a question, but thank you for using your platform for good. Thank you.
01:02:33.727 -->
01:02:39.087I don't know that I'm doing that, but I am just talking my shit and trying not to hurt anybody.
01:02:39.507 -->
01:02:43.707Have I ever read Hellboy? Not read Hellboy. Heard the Ron Perlman movie is fantastic.
01:02:43.847 -->
01:02:46.127I'm sure we will cover it on secret very soon.
01:02:46.527 -->
01:02:50.287Least favorite comedian's opinions on Kill Tony. Well, my friend,
01:02:50.407 -->
01:02:52.027you kind of just answered that in one sentence.
01:02:52.367 -->
01:02:55.807Is it worth it, in your opinion, to become an entertainer? Is the cost higher
01:02:55.807 -->
01:03:00.207than the reward? Well, depends on who you ask from a certain point of view.
01:03:01.147 -->
01:03:04.287The cost to you could be something completely different than the cost to me.
01:03:04.887 -->
01:03:09.407It's like any job you chase. You know, is going to medical school for eight years worth it?
01:03:09.467 -->
01:03:13.087Is going to law school for 62 years worth it? And then going to grad school after that worth it?
01:03:13.327 -->
01:03:17.667I don't know. it probably is when you are getting into it to help people i got
01:03:17.667 -->
01:03:22.627into show business because i wanted everyone to look at me while i talked so
01:03:22.627 -->
01:03:28.607yeah it's pretty fucking worth it little wandering muse do you think i got into
01:03:28.607 -->
01:03:31.707this for the art jesus christ i have dozens of dollars.

01:03:36.115 -->
01:03:38.875a heartbeat i was just in plano i love texas texas one of my favorite places
01:03:38.875 -->
01:03:42.135to do in comedy how to start doing stand-up comedy this question
01:03:42.135 -->
01:03:45.195comes up a lot i'm gonna give you the answer i answer everybody else buy yourself
01:03:45.195 -->
01:03:48.035a notebook a notebook that you only use to write jokes in
01:03:48.035 -->
01:03:51.055write every funny idea that you have in that notebook for
01:03:51.055 -->
01:03:54.075six months and not a second before those
01:03:54.075 -->
01:03:56.855six months when you're about five months in
01:03:56.855 -->
01:03:59.535start trying to craft out a five-minute set and then at
01:03:59.535 -->
01:04:02.355month six go to your first open mic and you have to go to that first open
01:04:02.355 -->
01:04:05.055mic within your first six months because you gotta spend five months writing the
01:04:05.055 -->
01:04:07.835jokes you gotta spend a month prepping and then you do that first open
01:04:07.835 -->
01:04:11.595mic and guess what you will never have a first open mic again are
01:04:11.595 -->
01:04:14.395you an innie or an outie is that a belly button
01:04:14.395 -->
01:04:18.815yeah what are my thoughts on weird al's mj parodies i don't know if i've discussed
01:04:18.815 -->
01:04:21.515this before but if it weren't for weird al's mj parodies i'd never know who
01:04:21.515 -->
01:04:24.775michael jackson was when i was a kid driving home from the karate school well
01:04:24.775 -->
01:04:30.535my father was driving i was a kid a friend of mine who was playing fat And I
01:04:30.535 -->
01:04:32.075had no idea why this was so funny.
01:04:32.215 -->
01:04:34.695I'm just 10 years old. It's great. It was right after White and Nerdy.
01:04:34.975 -->
01:04:37.135And my dad said to me, if you want to know why this is funny,
01:04:37.195 -->
01:04:38.615go home and watch Michael Jackson's Bad.
01:04:38.795 -->
01:04:42.335And I think that he regrets that more than anything else in his life because
01:04:42.335 -->
01:04:45.715I was in fifth grade and I had one of those computers with the BBL in the back.
01:04:45.795 -->
01:04:50.795And when he came down from the subway and then he went and the music video started,
01:04:50.995 -->
01:04:52.715I knew what I wanted to be for the rest of my life.
01:04:52.815 -->
01:04:55.435I wanted to do something in that variety.
01:04:56.315 -->
01:04:59.895Tips for writing comedy. once I start I
01:04:59.895 -->

01:05:11.115 -->
01:05:17.335crowd is and there's not a crowd sitting on my desk at home a lot of people
01:05:17.335 -->
01:05:23.675they're very good at it maybe I'm just lazy I'm kind of like the uh the Jay-Z of of comedy I know.

01:07:14.353thing about anakin skywalker as a character it's such okay i was gonna try to
01:07:14.353 -->
01:07:15.833keep that brief but it's just not gonna happen.
01:07:16.893 -->
01:07:19.853In the revenge of the sith novelization on the side
01:07:19.853 -->
01:07:24.073it says this is how it feels to be anakin skywalker forever and when you're
01:07:24.073 -->
01:07:27.253a kid you go that sounds pretty fucking cool he's dope ass jedi he's got the
01:07:27.253 -->
01:07:31.773force this guy's cool as hell then you realize when you're anakin skywalker
01:07:31.773 -->
01:07:37.833forever you're tormented by the love you had for your mother when you were pulled away from a cult,
01:07:38.493 -->
01:07:41.873because they told you your most powerful being that is going to bring balance
01:07:41.873 -->
01:07:46.753to a religion you might not even believe in that fear of loss and the fear of
01:07:46.753 -->
01:07:49.373losing your mother, which is why the Jedi take the children so young.
01:07:50.936 -->
01:07:56.276Into a toxic relationship, not toxic, a beautiful one, that they truly did love each other.
01:07:56.476 -->
01:07:59.536Padme waited for him to turn 18, and then she jumped those bones.
01:08:00.696 -->
01:08:04.056How I feel about Anakin Skywalker is how I feel about myself a lot of the time,
01:08:04.076 -->
01:08:07.236in the sense that Anakin has a hard time loving
01:08:07.662 -->
01:08:11.022and not blaming himself for things. And often because of that,
01:08:11.142 -->
01:08:12.702it leads to his own self-destruction.
01:08:12.882 -->
01:08:15.742I mean, Revenge of the Sith, people say they cram four hours,
01:08:16.182 -->
01:08:18.362you know, 20 years worth of shit into a three-hour movie.
01:08:18.942 -->
01:08:24.422His journey began as a slave and you watch Attack of the Clones and you go,
01:08:24.522 -->
01:08:28.922oh, he was evil the whole time. And by the time Revenge of the Sith rolls around,
01:08:29.022 -->
01:08:30.422this is after a three-hour war.
01:08:30.702 -->
01:08:33.122He has absolutely no faith left in the Jedi.
01:08:33.422 -->
01:08:37.522I was groomed by my uncle to smoke crack because I was told my love for Michael
01:08:37.522 -->
01:08:40.822Jackson and my looks were the best of the family.
01:08:41.162 -->
01:08:44.822You're not going to tell me if my uncle had lightning that he could shoot out
01:08:44.822 -->
01:08:47.302of his hands when he was president and he patted me on the back and appointed
01:08:47.302 -->
01:08:50.802him to be his representative on the Jedi Council to save my wife from certain
01:08:50.802 -->
01:08:51.742death. I wouldn't take it.
01:08:52.042 -->
01:08:55.982Of course I would. The problem with Anakin, and I don't separate Anakin and
01:08:55.982 -->
01:08:57.722Darth Vader because they're the same person,
01:08:58.462 -->
01:09:03.762is Anakin cannot seem to take responsibility for his own actions other than
01:09:03.762 -->
01:09:07.222Padme and he knows he killed Padme.
01:09:07.482 -->
01:09:11.302If you read the Vader canon comic, Palpatine tells him when he gets off the
01:09:11.302 -->
01:09:15.042stretcher and then Palpatine, you know, he goes, no, and he does a repulse and
01:09:15.042 -->
01:09:18.182Palpatine's like, touch me with the force again, Lord Vader,
01:09:18.402 -->
01:09:21.102and I will finish what Kenobi could not.
01:09:22.662 -->
01:09:26.902And the reason why I say Darth Vader is Anakin is because when he finds out
01:09:26.902 -->
01:09:29.562Luke Skywalker is his son, he changes course.
01:09:29.702 -->
01:09:32.402He goes, okay, I'm going to get him, I'm going to turn him and then we're going
01:09:32.402 -->
01:09:33.322to take down the Emperor.
01:09:34.582 -->
01:09:37.702Then when the emperor finds out that that's
01:09:37.702 -->
01:09:40.542what vader was trying to do when the empire strikes back he takes him to the fleet out
01:09:40.542 -->
01:09:43.362mexico and he goes hey i got this much
01:09:43.362 -->
01:09:48.042firepower you are fucked no matter what you try to do so that's why we see vader's
01:09:48.042 -->
01:09:51.002change of tone to return to the jedi because he's like luke you ain't you don't
01:09:51.002 -->
01:09:54.322have any idea what he has out there you are absolutely fucked so what does he
01:09:54.322 -->
01:09:59.502do he rage baits his son to probably kill him i think anakin was ready to die
01:09:59.502 -->
01:10:00.982at that point because he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like he's like
01:10:01.406 -->
01:10:04.806care if his son turned to the dark side you understand luke and vader didn't
01:10:04.806 -->
01:10:08.006really have a relationship other than what it symbolized which was the only
01:10:08.006 -->
01:10:12.466thing that was ever going to bring vader back to the light side were his kids
01:10:12.466 -->
01:10:16.606and when padme says there's still good in him you see that good at the end of
01:10:16.606 -->
01:10:20.106return of the jedi or at least that's how a nerd like me would explain why that's
01:10:20.106 -->
